Let me know as soon as you hear anything on those tickets Jeff so I can get the money together and come help you out there. I am going to wear my Boise Shooters shirt, do you have anything SawTac we could advertise for you there?

If their isn't any "No Loaded Firearms Concealed or otherwise" Signs this time I'll be there.

Otherwise, I'll go elsewhere.

SawTac will have two tables.  So, I guess you could say there will be BoiseShooters there.  ;)  Me, Spiff, Lady Glock, and Shortmag will be around my tables.

Glad you posted this! I had no clue there was a show this weekend (is it the Ee-da-how show?) I'll swing by and introduce myself.  Good chance if you've been going to these shows for some years, I've seen you before (as well as a lot of people on this board I'm sure)

My tables are on the SE side of the room.  There are only two tables which are mostly filled with mags and Maxpedition stuff.  If there is something you want to check out that I have in stock you need to let me know in time to take it.  ;)

Anybody been down today?  Curious weather or not they had the "No loaded guns concealed or otherwise" sign out this go 'round.  I was going to go this morning, but didn't want to waste the time and gas if they are denying peoples right to carry.

I didn't see it either.  Plus the Oath keeper guys have a small tent outside as you walk in, you should stop in and talk to them.  .22 ammo ridiculous.  .223 ammo also ridiculous.   There was a guy selling American Eagle for $11.00 a box which was also alright.  Bought a few boxes for the range tomorrow.  Found some shelter halves with all the poles and stakes for $10 for the pair.  Also some schlep suckered me in to a MagPul MIAD, I am such a sucker.   ;D

I believe the proper pronounciation is "schleppo", according to Don Rickles.......

Any small rifle primers? Oh, I think the proper pronunciation is "Schleff-o".

My brother in Peoria IL,said a week or two ago at a gun show there had small rifle primers at $26 a brick. And a bunch of them.
 It was good to hear that they had them, and the prices weren't outright highway robbery.
  I keep hearing from some local dealers that things are starting to rattle loose.
 I have to work tomorrow, otherwise I would head over to Boise. Anyone see any Strider knives there?

I didn't see any primers? (at least small rifle primers) I did see some some out right scam prices on all kinds of things though, which I've come to expect at gun shows..but there were deals too.  I picked up 500 rounds of .223 for $189, which although high, is cheaper then I've seen it anywhere else lately. I met Jeff and LadyGlock (very nice to meet you two) but never made it back to their table again..I do want one of those maxpedition packs I was looking at..very nice! It was deffinately the most crowded I've seen the gun shows lately, thats for sure.  I hope to get back down there again tomorrow.....seen a few other things I wanted.

I looked all through the paper and could not find anything on the show (Press Tribune).  What are the hours on Sunday?

Mostly small numbers of 1000 primer boxes. Most prices looked about 40-45 per K. The auto-weapons club had some small pistol primers at $27/1000 and looked like they displayed 15 boxes or so. I did seem some of most types except the CCI military numbers.

There were also several people selling powder that hasn't been made for more than 15 years asking today's prices. And the cans looked pretty dubious. Not much variety or quantity of bullets or brass.

I think the most interesting thing I saw that I could afford (but didn't) was a Z.E.R.T. t-shirt.

Didn't see to many deals, there was a kid selling his DPMS M-4 for $950 for car insurance money only had 120 rounds through it.

Did get to see Shortmag, LadyGlock, Spiff, Jeff, TAZZ500 and i probably walked past couple others. Which is nice since i dont make it to pizza.

Who had the ZERT shirt??? I want one of those.  I didn't get close to several tables do to all the crowds...The turn out will help out the Ee-da-how guys. (my dad is a life member) I seen quite a few of them, as well as hordes of familiar faces.  Kermit had quite a bit of stuff, and I think the most expensive .223 ammo. $10 higher then I've seen elsewhere.
